I copied this from the Chicago RTLO which is attached to the CAR lease:-Before a landlord can deduct expenses for damages from the security deposit, the landlord must provide the tenant with an itemized statement of the damages within 30 days of the date the tenant vacates the dwelling unit.

My current focus is on securing my first deal under contract using PropStream & Off-Market strategies I am eager to connect with experienced investors who can provide insights or advice to help me navigate the early stages of my real estate journey.

That you can secure CONTROL and MONITIZATION of a property via a fractional capital outlay vs it's market value, better known as a down payment.     

Changing the locks and adding security to the home, to ensure he does not vandalize or damage the property.

Partner effectively, focus on securing your first deal, and build savings and credit.

When we bought we were able to secure a 3.5% rate, put 20% down, $30k in renovations.

@Joe Si With a $10M net worth and the goal of early retirement, a balanced allocation could be 40-50% stocks for growth, 25-35% real estate for stable income and appreciation, and 20-25% fixed income (bonds) for security. 

This is in fact what I did tell them and they instead chose to bombard me with another set of bad deals and accompanying alarming messages.

We got a $50,000 deficiency against the borrower and secured it to their primary residence in 2nd position which had around $150k equity.

Hi @Sanya WuNot sure if there is a way to verify payment history but I would also ask about the security deposit and make sure that gets transferred to you during closing!
